Test scores are solid, so are grades. Upward trend will be noted and you’re still in the top 10% so I think you’re alright; it would be really good if that trend is combined with junior year APs that are mostly 5’s. ECs seem reasonable. I would try to emphasize the community service elements over the checkbox type clubs, but it’s hard to get a good understanding of what those hours entail in a short CC post.

Low SES/having to help support your family is a strong hook, and something that you should emphasize in your essays. I wouldn’t necessarily make it completely central to your story, but it would be good to include at least a subtle reference to some of the challenges you’ve gone through. Also, make sure to apply for the merit scholarships; they give you the chance to write some additional essays that can help you round out your application.

Overall, you would have a good chance even unhooked, since you fit in with the EDI profile. However, depending on how your hook is subjectively evaluated, you could have a strong chance of acceptance I think.
