It indicates their height is NOT the example of The Moe meme. They are just average girls.

I think, however, "who is smaller (and taller)" is influenced by The Moe meme.
Azusa is smallest. She is the typical character who express "smaller one is cuter one".
Mio is tallest and heaviest of the Students. I think Mio is nervous about the fact. The gap between her style and wish makes her cute.
She is the typical "Gap Moe" character.
Yeah, I always knew that they were shorter, but I had heard somewhere that Asian average heights have skyrocketed (relatively) in the latest generation due to better nutrition (for growth, a lot of the "old diets" were very healthy).
