It could be.
The main thing is, what temp does the ECU think it is?
My Malibu used to indicate about 3/4 up for 210F, and the fans wouldn't kick on low until shortly above that.
They don't go to high until an even higher temp - 223F IIRC, but check the manual to be sure.
It may be that despite where your gauge is sitting, the motor really isn't that hot at the ECT, so it doesn't kick the fans onto "HIGH".
That's why I suggest using a reader and finding out what temp the ECU THINKS the motor is.
