I doubt you'll grow much more. Genes play a role in it, obviously, but you can't figure out how tall you'll be by how tall your parents are. I'm sure you'll stay about the height you are now.

If you want to spend money on a doctor's visit to find out, go to an orthopedic surgeon and have some x-rays done (of any joints). Then ask the doctor if the growth plates are closed or open. Growth plates are like open doorways at the ends of the bones, which allow the bones room to grow when they're open. However, at a certain age (usually early to mid teens for girls, and mid to late teens for boys), the growth plates close and the bones, therefore, stop growing. If I were you, I wouldn't waste money on a doctor's visit just to find out this little bit of information. Your current height is not at all unusual for someone your age, and based on your age, you probably won't grow much more, if at all.

You may not grow any more, females stop growing years earlier than males. I am 5ft 8in tall and I stopped growing when I was in 8th grade or freshman year of high school.

If you are a freshman in high school you may grow more but if you are a freshman in college chances are that you are done growing.

Girls stop growing around sixteen, so you'll probably only end up being 5'4" or 5'5", which is actually pretty short.
I'm a freshman and I'm 5'8". Don't worry. =)

Next time you go to the doctor's office ask them what they think. They can look at your growth chart and give you a fairly good idea.
