Your pretty average. Youll grow only a little more. You probably wont be any taller than 5ft5,MAYBE 5ft 6.

I don't think that is tall at all. My daughter is 13 and she is 5'7" and I know she isn't done yet. I'm only 5'2", but her dad is 6'3". She may get a lot taller or she may only get a few more inches and stop. It's hard to say without the total breakdown of the genes that make up YOUR DNA. You say that your mom is tall, but her family is short. You also say that your dad and his family are tall. You may grow to be taller or you may just gain a few more inches.
I am short, but my family is taller and my daughter's dad is tall and so is his family.
Hopefully, you aren't overly worried about this.

In the US 5'6" is average for an adult female. Females tend to keep growing taller until about age 18.
Your eventual height will be determined by the genes that you inherited and the quality of your nutrition and environment in which you live. Be sure to eat a balanced and nutritious diet to achieve your best long term health. See www.mypyramidtracker.org an excellent resource for nutrition information, be sure to take note of the additional nutrition needs for a person of your age, they are important.
Often pediatrician's offices have a chart in their offices and in their patients file that over time charts a patients height / weight percentile. If you can get a look at your chart from your doctors office, it could help you predict at what percentile of height and weight you will reach your adult height. Your parents may have a copy of this kind of chart. If neither is available to you, it is likely that you could find such a chart on the Internet, perhaps somewhere related to infants and baby books. When mothers are creating baby books they are often looking for those charts.

My mother's side is all below 5'8 for the women and 6'1 for the men. My dad's side is all tall though. I however turned out to be around 5'8 but I have always been tall for my age. You might just end up in the middle between the two families.

Well my mom's side is all below 5'4. And my dads side is 5'5 and under. My dad is 5'5 and and my mom's 5'0. My doctor said I'll be at least 5'1. You'll probably be 5'6 no taller than 5'7 I would think.
