If you wish to determine if you are overweight the following information may help:The following is the typical information that is used to determine if a child is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese; you must start with a children's weight chart, in which you simply plan/plot your height, BMI (Body Mass Index) and weight to determine where you fall with others children of your age group.Now to determine if you are underweight, the BMI should be below the 5th percentile; if you are of normal weight, the BMI should be at the 5th percentile but less than the 85th percentile; if your are overweight, the BMI should be the 85th percentile but below the 95th percentile; and finally, if you are of obese weight, the BMI is at or above the 95th percentile.
The ideal weight for a child depends on their height and age. A boy or a girl, that's 12 years old, would be considered overweight if they fall in the 85th to 95th percentile and obese if they are above the 95th percentile.
An ACT score of 25 typically falls around the 85th percentile. This means that approximately 85% of test takers scored lower than 25, while about 15% scored higher. However, percentile rankings can vary slightly from year to year based on the specific test-taker population. For the most accurate percentile, it's best to consult the latest ACT score report or official data.
It ranks 85th, so 85/768 would be closest to .11 or 11%

mean: 400std deviation: 25z-score = ( 380 - 400 ) / 25 = -0.8The probability of getting a score lower than this is about 21.1%. Or, in other words, about 78.8% score higher.Please see the link.
Your BMI is 22.5 (factoring in age) which puts you in the 91st percentile of weight. Between the 5th percentile and the 85th is ideal. For a girl of you age and height a weight of between 70lbs and 95lbs is ideal. Don't worry though, at your stage in development your weight can change rapidly. When I was 12 I weighed about 100lbs, I'm now 15 and weigh exactly the same. :)
Your only issue is getting a guy taller...unless your good with looking down at him, literally.
For a 10-year-old girl, overweight is typically determined using the Body Mass Index (BMI) percentile, which considers age and sex. A BMI at or above the 85th percentile for children of the same age and sex is considered overweight. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for an accurate assessment, as growth patterns and body composition can vary significantly in children.
