My rising 8th grader has not yet got 5’, though he is very close. I am 5’6” and DH is 6’.

Is he 17 or older?

I am 5'4", he is 6'1" going into 9th.

OP asked for middle school aged.

14 before starting 8th grade? He should be starting high school.

Age?

How did you know that was his full height? (Or is he much older currently?)

My son (turning 14 in August) is slightly taller than me. I am 5'4", he is about 5'4 1/2". Most of his friends are around 5'6" or 5'7", with some outliers at 5'10" or over 6 feet. So he is relatively short.

My DS has always been tall but shot up this year. Same height as me, 5’6” in 5th. Now as a raising 7th grader he is 5’10”. My DH is tall but I expect him to be done growing in the next year or two.

My rising hs senior just surpassed my height. He was always the littlest in his classes. He is comparably short compared to other boys.

Mine 12 yo is still shorter (I’m 5’10”)

DS is a now rising freshman and grew to 6’0” in the last year. In 6th, he was still shorter than I by a good bit. I am 5’8” and in past year and a half grew a ton. Dad is 5’10” and I think DS has another inch or two to go. I have some really tall genes on my side. Girl siblings are both tallish. But DS is still the tallest by far on growth charts to date.

No rising 7th grader. He’s about 5’. I’m 5’6”

Rising 8th is 5’6”, which is taller than I am at 5’3” but shorter than his 6’1” dad.
