The way this is estimated, and it's only an estimate:
for girls:
mom + (dad - 5") / 2
65" + (73" - 5") / 2
66.5" or 5' 6 1/2" adult height
for boys:
(mom + 5") + dad / 2
This is called "expected familial stature" and can be effected by many things such as specific genetics, nutrition, and health.

I was probably 5'7" when I was 15 and I'm 5'10" now. However both of my parents are tall my mom is 5'9" and my dad was 6'1". You probably have a few more years of growing- I think the taller, the better.
