first of all, altheticism is important but you should be worrying about skill development right now.
to jump higher, there are many factors, flexibility, not having any significant strength imbalances, strength, explosiveness, weight.
i would advise you to develop strength and flexibility first and then move on to plyometric exercises after developing a solid foundation

Go online and search plyometrics. Thats calf muscle excercises And leg exercises. That will increase your speed, Acceleration and your hops.

Work out focusing on leg exercises.
Next time you practice dunking (or jumping) do it with ankle weights on.
