I agree, put a skirt under it. Just tell her very matter of factly that the school rules are that knees have to be covered in school and I doubt she'll think much about it.
If she was 10 it would be mixed messages that you're letting her wear this at all while she goes to a Lakewood school. But at 5 or 6, it's fine.

My daughter wore a skirt under her short costume last week. No big deal

Echoing those who say to put a skirt under it. Why not? The weird message you would be sending is if you DON'T put a skirt under it. That it's ok to be un-tznius on Purim. A 5 year old is old enough to understand we do not wear a tutu without a skirt under in public (as opposed to a private women only event).

So what is the weird message you said you do not want to send her? I’m confused about that part of your OP.

Put her in a matching skirt. A pink skirt under a pink tutu, for example. It may look a little sillier, but school rules still apply.

Children get a pretty good idea of what is acceptable in different circumstances. I remember once objecting to wearing a certain Purim costume for shul. I don't remember what the costume was, but it must have been somewhat below the standards that I normally wore for shul. My mother was trying to persuade me that on Purim it didn't matter, and you you could wear whatever costume you liked. I didn't follow her, and felt that the given standard should be maintained. As an example I threw at her other situations where she had said it would be ok to wear something that I wouldn't normally have worn, and I was the only one dressed like that that. She couldn't produce a word in argument.
I could accept that different standards applied in different situations, but not relaxing the given standards in any given situation. And from that point on I decided for myself rather than consulting her opnions. (And that was well before I was a teenager!)
