I'm no doctor, but I can give you websites to look at. In the end, no matter what you read, you will still need a doctor to see you and determine if your growth is just high on the growth percentile or if you are way over and beyond that, growing at an alarming rate. In that case it would be called gigantism and there are things a Dr. can check for as this link explains. However, in gigantism, hands and feet and head are all also growing at quick rates and will be overly large.
Since your shoe size is 6 with this height, logic tells me its not gigantism but the actual height you inherited in the genes. Since Dad is 6 ft, there's a chance you may grow to be close to that height.

Another thing to keep in mind is that girls often develop and grow faster at the younger ages than boys do. At the point girls start to slow down in height growth, males tend to start to catch up and overtake them. So very likely, you're perfectly normal and your height growth will begin to slow down now and likely you wont grow but another inch or two if at all. But for peace of mind, its worth going to see a Dr. to find out if you have a normal height, higher than most girls perhaps but still in the normal range. I actually know many females who are 5'7 to 5'9 in height and actually a few who are 5'10.

First, im assuming you meant 12. Second, your shoe size, at least for girls, are a big sign to how your growth will go. Considering your feet are only a size 6, you should stop your height at now or you might get like 1 or 2 inches taller. So unless your feet grow, you should technically stop growing pretty soon.
Hope this helps~
