What is the average height of a 12 year old in feet?

The average height of a 12-year-old varies significantly depending on sex and geographic location. However, a general estimate is:

  • Girls: Around 5 feet to 5 feet 3 inches (60-63 inches)
  • Boys: Around 5 feet to 5 feet 4 inches (60-64 inches)

Keep in mind that these are averages, and many 12-year-olds will be taller or shorter. Genetic factors, nutrition, and overall health all play a role in individual height. A child's height should always be considered within the context of their growth curve and assessed by a pediatrician if there are concerns.
