If you are using a compression tester from like pep boys or autozone, I think you are supposed to check pulses, and not a readout. You want like 3 even pulses on each rotor face. Definitely search and check the faq, these questions were covered many, many times. Good luck finding the problem.

Get a copy of the factory service manual for specific information on compression readings. The manual is free for the downloading from one of the links in the 2nd gen FAQ above.
