I am a 5'9 boy and will turn 15 in 10 days. my father and mother are 5'8 and 5'3. many relatives and grandparents are over 6'3. how tall might i get

Predicted height: Your parents genes dominate this process.The expected final height of a male is the average of both parents + 2.5 in. This makes your predicted final height 5'8.5 inches. At 15 you may have a little growth left, depending on when your growth centers close, but i would not expect much in your case.
