Males usually stop growing height wise by age 21 and most females reach maximum height around 18.
Let me add to my answer above. Bones grow at the distal ends, far ends, of a bone. The area is called the epiphyseal plate (or epiphyseal plate or growth plate). It is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metathesis at each end of a long bone. The plate is found in children and adolescents while they are still growing. When this region turns to bone, hardens and closes, the bones and us stop growing In adults, who have stopped growing, the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal line of harden bone.

Like sandritta, but correct in as much as we produce new cells all the time we are alive so we NEVER stop growing. The human bones "set" at around age 25 years.
I added to my answer to be more specific for you. Good question my answer is correct and if it answers your question how about a thumbs up? Here is a thumbs up for your question. This is a good question I studied it in Anatomy and Physiology.
