Around 2:12. My official 800 PR was 2:21 when I first broke 4:45, though (and still was when I broke 4:40!). A lot depends on how often you are running the 800 and how fast you are improving.
Most of the times quoted so far sound more like times from a conversion chart. In my experience (granted, I went to HS quite a while ago), HS kids tend to run better as the distance gets shorter. I would guess that most 4:45 HS milers were closer to 2:05 for 800m.
22 years ago, i ran 2.12 and hit that 1600. Of course I then improved my 800 to 2.09, but then i improved my 16 to 4.39. Ahh, the exuberance of youth! Any way 2.07-2.14 is reasonable range

If you are a well-trained endurance guy (e.g. running more than 45 miles per week and can easily break 17 min for a 5k running alone), you only need to be in the 2:12 - 2:15 range.
For those with some endurance, e.g. able to easily break 18min for a 5k, but not quite consistently fast at the longer stuff, you need closer to 2:09 - 2:12 speed
Most young runners, doing low mileage (less than 35 miles per week, and who might struggle to break 18 min for a 5k), would need to be in the 2:05 - 2:09 range.
I ran the 800m in 1:52 and the full mile is 4:04. My 10,000m pace was 4:39 to 4:40 per mile running 29:05. We had guys on our college team that could only manage a 2:04 to 2:08 800m but could run 30:30 for 10,000m and 14:40 for 5,000m the same guys could only run 4:30 for a mile. With this being said some runners are speed based and some are not. Guys like myself only needed 65 to 80 miles a week however our strength runners needed 100 to 120 miles a week. You may require higher mileage to hit your target.
