Is my skirt too short?

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place :/
Anyway, I got this spotted denim skirt from Topshop last summer and I've barely worn it because I think I made a mistake in buying it in the Petite range (I've grown since then!) and now I'm scared it might look too short on me as I have fairly long legs for my height (5"4).
By the way, I'm thirteen going on 14 and I'm wondering if it's ok for school on a MUFTI day or just to go out in the summer. I come from a fairly conservative family so I'm fairly sure they would have a biased opinion :p
I have (as aforementioned) long limbs for my height so my arms are also longer than most and I don't believe the fingertip test for short skirts really works for me, although it comes about 2 cm or so above them.
I plan to wear either a coral top or a baggy jumper (depending on weather) and some black tights underneath. I've attached both ideas in photos!
Sorry for the novel ;)
Thanks in advance!

Under legging or tights it will be fine.

As long as you use the tights underneath, they're fine!

Thanks! I wouldn't really wear it normally but I figured I may as well get away with it before I get taller! ;) I was thinking that with a coral top and the tights, with some boots or something just to amp it up into the 'not actually that bad' category...

It looks fine! We have a dress code at our school were your shorts have to touch your fingers, and your shirt has to cover your butt if you wear yoga pants, and if you don't do that then they either make you call home or wear ugly oversized gothic clothes 😭😭😭
