First of all, it is very important to have children and adults for that matter on a consistent sleep schedule.
According to the American Sleep Disorders Association, the average teenager needs around 9.5 hours of sleep per night, possibly because hormones that are critical to growth and sexual maturation are released mostly during slumber. Yet studies show that teenagers generally get an average of only 7.4 hours a night. This is far short of the desired quota for healthy teens.
Researchers at Stanford University found in a study that teenagers require more sleep, by 1 to 2 hours, than do their younger 9- and 10-year-old siblings, who only require about 8 hours of sleep. This contradicts parents, since we tend to give later bed times and curfews to our children as they get older.
Sleep deprivation can be the cause behind extreme moodiness, poor performance in school and depression.
So the best bedtime is whatever time will allow a 13 yr old to get the 9.5 hours of sleep they need.

It depends what time the child has to get up in the morning. Kids that age need 9-10 hours of sleep.

I have a 13 year old daughter. I put her to bed between 10 and 10:30. If she did her chores and got her clothes laid out for the morning and her shower. I let her stay up til then. If she did not do her shower and chores. I let her know she needs to go to bed at 9. So she can get up and get things done in the morning.This is for school nights. Weekends I let her stay up til midnight if she does her chores.

9-9:30...
Teenagers need more sleep than little kids and adults during this time in order for a hormone to be released that is crucial to their growth spurt.
Whether late nights are caused by biology or behaviour makes no difference - many teenagers are sleep deprived. Lack of sleep can lead to moodiness, impulsivity and depression.
In America some schools have delayed the start of their classes to give their teenagers some extra time in bed. One school noticed a significant improvement in the educational performance of its students.

That depends upon the child. Some kids need more sleep than others to be well rested and ready for school in the mornings. Some don't. My daughter went to bed @ 10:00pm

10pm or 10:30pm like the others are saying sounds too late to me. What will your child be doing at this time of night? 9:30pm at the latest is more appropriate, but it depends on what time they have to be up in the morning. Everyone needs at least eight hours to get a good nights rest.
