A State must administer the assessments required under § 200.2 annually as follows: (i) With respect to both the reading/language arts and mathematics assessments— (A) In each of grades 3 through 8; and (B) At least once in grades 9 through 12.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Current federal regulations still require annual reading/language arts and math assessments in grades 3-8 and once in high school, so there is no evidence in the lookback window of a broad federal reduction in standardized testing.
