They say that the average IQ is 100 - a score of 129 usually checks out as pretty "high", under the "genius" level but certainly above the average.
But at the same time - there are lots of factors you've got to consider. No IQ test is a real indicator of intelligence, no matter what age you're at.
1) Depends on the type of IQ test you took. There are some which focus on visual-spatial, logical-mathematical, abstract reasoning, linguistic, perceptual, etc intelligences. Some tests are specific to a single type of intelligence while others have a mix of questions to determine your overall IQ.
So you might be a genius in, say, linguistic intelligence but just average in everything else - taking a mixed test might average your score out to something closer to the mean. At the same time, you might be good at everything BUT linguistic intelligence, and taking a linguistic intelligence based test might skew your results.
2) There are a whole bunch of IQ tests out in the world, and no real standardised way of calculating an IQ score. Depending on what country you're in and what purpose the test you took serves, the way your score's calculated may be vastly different from the rest of the world.
3) Where you are, what kind of an education/upbringing you've had, what kind of things you've been exposed to since young - demographics can make your IQ score relative as well...
At the end of the day, an IQ score is just a very, very rough gauge of intelligence - some people denounce it altogether. S'up to you whether to put any weight on it at all!

According to this site, your score is superior. There seems to be some debate over whether or not IQ score are stable throughout life. But what's really important is the fact that IQ scores really don't mean much. Do research on them and you'll see that their results and accuracy are highly contested.

Above average, likely in the second standard deviation (95 percentile). Intellegence is only one measure of a person - it doesn't account for wisdom. Be humble, and make the most of your opportunities.

That is very good, I think genius starts about 140. I know women of Mensa run around 150 and up.

You see... It's good to know your IQ for academic purposes, but EQ is also important. When you get older, you will understand that who you know is as important as what you know. High IQ doens't mean you will succeed in the future - please in mind.
