Default Is my compression to low?

My mechanic did a compression test on my 95 LS with 125k on it. All cyl's were 150. This seems pretty low. My question is, is this bad?

If they are all pretty close, I doubt there's anything wrong. It's pretty rare for compression to drop too low but still stay consistent all across the board. Consistency across all cylinders is most important.
