Yes: You have reached your maximum height.

Probably: Some kids continue to grow taller into their late teens or rarely early twenties but only when their bone maturity lags behind their age. If the growth centers of the long bones have fused, you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of the wrist ; hand can yield a bone maturity.Most girls stop at 17. If you entered puberty late, you may have potential to grow.
