Is the Height Calculator Accurate?

Question

There's a calculator where I put in my current weight, height, race, and my parent's height. How accurate is it? Is the height that came out most likely to be my final height?

BTW im 14, 5'8. The height that came out was 5'11.

Answer 1

i wouldnt trust it to much

Answer 2

It's an educated guess at best, using statistics.

You will know how tall you will be at about age 16, when bone growth tends to stop.

Likely you will be with an inch or two of your father.  Again, there are exceptions to this, so your real answer will come just before you turn seventeen.

I will admit the calculator is probably close, given your current age and height.
