Your 800 and 1600 are pretty much equivalent, and they're stronger than the rest, which is to be expected for someone without much aerobic development. These are very solid times for a freshman, especially if you're pretty new to running.
I wanted to say you are wrong about that because the first equivalency calculator I used said 2:11 was equivalent to 4:50. Then I thought I should try another. That said 4:57. Can't believe these are so far apart. Personally, I feel 2:11 is worth better than 4:50 but it certainly depends if the athlete is more of a speed runner or more of an endurance runner.
probably the 2:11, I've run similar times to you as a freshman (5:05, 11:01, 17:40s), but my 800 was a ways off
Not even close. The 800. The other times are as I see them quite slow compared to the 800. I would expect a 1600 faster than 4:50 and a 3200 near 10:15. However that is certainly dependent on what you train for. I am saying those times because you have 5K time in Cross Country so clearly you are training for distances beyond 800.

Your 4 mile might technically be better than the 8 mile, but taking into account the fact your a 9th grader I think they’re a wash.
It takes a lot more than this to impress me
Definitely the 800m
When my 800m PR was 2:14 my other PRs were
1600 4:40.5
3200 10:08
5000 16:39 (track)
10000 34:41 (road)
About the time I ran 2:11 for the first time I had already run 4:33 and 9:50, but then I suddenly popped a 2:04 so...
Work on your aerobic development

You had literally zero speed.
What’s your 400 PR?
Technically your 800 is the best, but you're not an 800 runner.
