Estimate ht in cm: Boy = (mother's ht + father's ht +5) divided by 2, girl=(mother's ht + father's ht -5) divided by 2. Or average the parents' height and add 2.5 for a boy, subtract 2.5 for a girl (Inches). Add or subtract 6.35 cm. from the average height for metric.

Estimates: The formulas to estimate final height suggest you would reach 5'8.5" +/- 1 inch. You can find out if you have more growth potential with an x-ray of your wrist/hand. This area has growth centers used to define status of growth. If your growth centers are closed you are done, if open you might get taller.
