Normal blood pressures in children are dependent on body size, age, height and gender. Body size is the most important determinant of blood pressure in children. There are online calculators available where you enter age, height, systolic (top number) blood pressure and diastolic (bottom number) blood pressure to determine the percentile of both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. I will add a link to a website with a calculator for this. Normal systolic and diastolic blood pressures are less than the 90th percentile. Pre-hypertension is if the percentile is in the 90th to 95th percentile. High blood pressure is defined as being in the > 95th percentile. The blood pressure should be measured on several occasions. Unfortunately it is difficult to provide numbers for the normal blood pressure range, because I do not know the height or blood pressures. You can go to this site to determine what percentile the blood pressures are in and if they are normal or elevated. Good luck.
