5'6" +/- 2 inches: Based on the standard calculation of midparental height for boys which helps predict the final adult height for boys based on their parents' heights, your calculated final adult height could be: 5'6" plus or minus 2 inches. Many other factors go into determining final adult height. Talk to an endocrinologist if there are any concerns.

Depends: An estimate using parental height or a standard growth chart, gives your expected final height as 5'6". A simple x-ray of the left hand & wrist can be assessed for bone maturity. If the maturity is close to 15 you might get to 5'7" and a maturity index of 14 would let you reach 5'8-9".If your bone maturity is consistent with your age, you project to 5'6".
