Did No Child Left Behind have an effect on all US public schools or only schools that received title 1 funding?

I'm American, but I don't really know anything about US education policy. And while I'm aware that No Child Left Behind is no longer on the books, I remember hearing people talk about it a lot while I was growing up, so I'm curious to know more about it.

I didn't realize until very recently that No Child Left Behind was actually an update of an earlier law called the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)

My understanding of ESEA is very rudimentary - but basically, what I've gathered, is that under Title 1 of the law, schools that have a certain percentage of students from low-income families can qualify for funding from the federal government. And I'm aware that No Child Left Behind tied this funding to standardized test scores.

I'm not entirely sure, but I assume that all public schools in the country, regardless of whether or not they receive Title 1 funding, administer standardized tests and have been doing so since before the days of No Child Left Behind, correct?

So did No Child Left Behind have any impact on schools that don't receive Title 1 funding? Or did No Child Left Behind only have an impact on Title 1 schools?

Thanks!
