Don't know if the above sight will help. If your mom kept records of your height anytime until you were 12 it would give you an approximation. My dr also told me you could tell approximately a child would be from 2 parents by either adding 5 or subtracting 5 inches from the parent to get 2 of the same sex and then averaging the heights.
Your mom is 5'5" and your Dad is 6'0" which take away 5 from your dad he would be approx 5'7" if he were female. Average the 5'5" and the 5'7" and their girls would be approx 5'6". This is not exact obviously. According to that I should have been 5'7 1/2" and I am 5'10". The height predictor said I should have been 5' 9 1/2" so it is pretty accurate.
Also the average woman in the world is 5'3".

This depends on genetics. So I can't tell you if you will grow much more or not.
Girls tend to stop growing sometime around age 17-18. I went away to college at age 17 measuring 5' 2" and came back after freshman year almost 5' 6". My mom is 5'2" and my dad is 5"10".

That's about the average height for a 15 year old girl.

Just to let you know that if your mom is 5'5' then you probably will be about 5'6 or 5'7. They say girls will be about one to two inches taller than there moms if the dad is above 6 foot.

Probably you are done growing. Although, look at the bright side, women can always grow as tall as the heels they buy!
5'4" is not tall, but it's not all that short either.

You are at a normal height. You may grow an inch or two

No, you're not short. That's a normal height. You probably won't grow much more, though.

Well, the calculations to find height for female offspring is:
[(m+d)/2]-2=h
so in your case it would be:
[(65+72)/2]-2=h
(137/2)-2=h
68.5-2=h
66.5=h
which means you should be about: 5' 6"
