Is this a good 800m time?

Question

I've just turned 17 and I want to try and break the school record for the 800m. I used to run a lot and did one or 2 national competitions but that was at the age of about 14, now I've lost all my ability really..

I just ran 800m and got a time of 2:26, could someone say if that's good or bad or in between and if I'm to be aiming to break a school record what would you think I'd need to shave it down to?

Thanks very much.

Whats your school record?

2:10 could is a very good time for high school girls.
