I'm 6'1". I stopped growing in about year 10, at that point I was one of the tallest in my year.
In year 11, 12 and 13 everyone else caught up so it's nothing special anymore (I don't get the 'You're tall' comments anymore because everyone else the same-ish height).
There was one advantage of being taller at my school which was the 'hard' kids did not try and trip you up (or what ever else those losers used to do) because they thought you would beat them up or something.
