2 cases, if dad is 5'11" and almost 6'

61" + (71" - 5") /2 = 63.5" 5' 3½"
add: this is a standard estimation of 'expected familial stature' and is subject to variations due to health and nutrition and assumes the absence of congenital reasons for short or tall stature. The formula is:
mom + (dad - 5") /2 = girl
(mom + 5") + dad /2 = boy

It's impossible to make a statement about this.
My bf has a friend who is 6 feet and his parents are both short.
It doesn't completely depend on parents heights. It could also go back generations. Like some people's kids have a totally diff hair colour and no one knows why. But way back in the family someone did. Genes are a funny thing!

Coach T's estimation is a good one, but as the other answerer pointed out genes are weird and it could be anything.
I'd feel pretty safe guessing between 4'6" and 6'6" :-)
Somewhere around 5'4" (+/- 2") is a good guess.
