Would a 15 year old female who's 5'0 feet tall, weighs 110 pounds, has scoliosis, and started menstruating 1 year ago grow taller?

Possibly: Linear growth usually stops within 2-3 years of the first cycle but there is slowing before the end. The best way to know is an x-ray of the wrist/hand which shows multiple growth centers. Analysis of the xray can provide a bone maturity index that correlates with potential growth. If the growth centers are closed. you are done, if open, there is some left.
