The height of a typical 6th grader at SAS is 61 inches. I know this because of the measures of center, the median, mode and mean. The median is 61, the mode is 61, and the mean is about 60.9577. If you round the mean to the ones place, you get 61, the same number as the median and mode. Therefore the typical height of a 6th grader at SAS is 61 inches.
How does you own height compare?
My height is 5 inches over the average height of 61. I'm 66 inches tall therefore I'm taller than average. Also, the IQR is 4 and ranges from 59 inches to 63 inches. My height still doesn't fit in there.
Does the height of 6th graders have a lot of variability? How do you know?
Yes, the height of 6th graders have a lot of variability, because there are no big clusters and the data is spread out really well. It also has a range of 20 inches which is a big range. Therefore, 6th graders have a lot of variability.

You added good reasons on your post. One thing to maybe work on is to try to elaborate your answer on question 2. You did not exactly say as much as you could have.
