Dr. James Ferguson answered

Yes: The predicted final height from the parental heights mentioned is 5'10" +/-. Most males continue to grow until 17-18 but some stop sooner or continue. An x-ray of your wrist/hand could be assessed for bone maturity & growth potential. If growth centers there are open you will grow taller.
