How tall will I be?

Unfortunately, there is no actual scientific answer to your question. Genes significantly influence your height but are not diagnostic for it; they guarantee nothing.

I was 5'0'' and 74 lbs entering 7th grade. I was 5'8'' entering 8th grade and am 6'0'' today. My younger brother is almost identical height but grew much more evenly and did not suffer the sometimes brutal growing pains that I did. We are generally taller than most, if not all, of our descendants; I had a 4'8'' grandmother and 5'4'' great-grandfather.

My gut feeling, backed up by basically nothing but intuition, is that you end up approximately 6'1'' or 6'2'' as an adult. I feel optimistic today so I'll say 6'2''.

You should grow a couple more inches in the next three years. Unless you start smoking heavily / stop eating.
