The length of an essay depends greatly on its topic and intended audience.
A typical argument essay for middle school might be a page and a half. In high school it might be 3 pages. But these are just a typical value. An argument essay on the need for handwashing at school might be a very different length than an essay arguing for changes in the relationship between Israel and Palestine.
Keep in mind that an excellent argumentative essay is not necessarily long. You want to state your topic, make clear your position and the alternate position, and give the reasons why your position should be accepted by the reader.
