You don't have to take the SATs unless you're trying for college. You're not necessarily seeing reading and math skills drop. You're seeing more kids who wouldn't have taken the SATs doing so. You're sampling from a more complete population, not just the top 75%.
(And yeah I'm fully ignoring the postCOVID brain drain. That's going to be a shadow in test scores for years.)
This looks expected and not a bad thing at all. Higher pressure to graduate and higher expectation that a college degree is necessary means more kids attempt the test - including those kids who might've dropped out in previous years. I think it's fair to assume that on average the kids who dropped out probably wouldn't've scored as highly on their standardized tests.
