No information is given as to Dorothy Gale's age in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1865 -May 6, 1919) gives no specific information in terms of the ages of any of his characters. According to the illustrations, Dorothy appears to be a poised young girl under ten (10). According to the beloved 1939 movie version of the original 1900 book edition, Dorothy may be eleven or twelve (11-12) years old.

In L. Frank Baum's book Dorothy is supposed to be nine years old. But the actress playing the role (Judy Garland) was actually a teenager made to look younger.
In the movie she is supposed to be 12-years-old. In the book, author L. Frank Baum does not state Dorothy's age. However in the book The Lost Princess of Oz, he writes that she is a year older than Trot, who is 10-years-old, making Dorothy 11.
In the Wizard of Oz... she's supposed to be. Judy Garland was rather older than the part, strictly speaking, called for. It's pretty clear that she's attempting to play a character considerably younger... the dress, makeup, hairstyle, and vocal inflections are all more characteristic of a young child than of someone Garland's actual age (16 at the time). The discrepancy makes Dorothy appear a bit foolish and "spoiled", since even with the makeup she still seems a bit old to be acting and dressing the way she does.
Shirley Temple, about 6 years younger than Garland, was also apparently strongly considered for the part and would probably have been closer in age to what Baum had in mind when he wrote the story.
Dorothy was a young girl who lived on a farm in Kansas. She became a princess in The Emerald City of Oz.
No, Dorothy Gale isn't a witch in 'The Wizard of Oz'. Instead, she's a human being who comes from Kansas. Later on, in book 3 'Ozma of Oz', Dorothy becomes a princess.
