If the nose is pointy, the rocket will go faster, but if the rocket's nose is flat, it will just travel slower in the lower atmosphere, the height a rocket attains depends on the efficiancy of its engines, the amount of propellant carried and the launch profile. However, for a subsonic rocket (which is what most hobby rockets are) then a curved on not a pointy one is much better. I would suggest looking it up on wikipedia.

Is building a model rocket and measuring how high it goes a science fair project?

No, because you need to change something, and measure how high it goes to see how changing one thing can affect the height. For example, if you are using air to launch the rocket, you could change how much air pressure you use, and measure the difference. "How does air pressure affect height?" is a scientific question. Remember if you do this, you must keep everything else the same, or it won't be a fair experiment.

Does humidity affect a model rocket?

A strong low wind will very much affect it's angle of flight. We try to wait for breaks in the wind to launch. Wind is bad for parachutes too, a rocket that went high can float a mile or two on it's parachute.
