What is a good high jump for a 7th/8th grader?

My son tried high jump for the first time last spring at his school's "field day" - he was a 6th grader. They had no practice or training. He placed 1st with his best jump at 5 foot. I want him to try out for his middle school track team but he likes baseball ... is 5 foot a good high jump ?|||For a 6th grader with no practice, no set form, just jumping, thats amazing! I was in 7th grade and placed 2nd in Districts with a jump of 5 feet! I bet he could get 5'6" maybe. But yes that is an amazing jump considering he has never done high jump before and is a 6th grader. Tell him to get out there and do track, I did track and it's fine. He'll have fun.
