contents Let $Γ_{0,n}^+(p)\subset \mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ be the congruence subgroup of level-$p$ whose first column is of the form $(*,0,\dots,0)^t\bmod p$. We prove that the top-dimensional cohomology group $H^{\binom{n}{2}}(Γ_{0,n}^+(p);\mathbb{Q})$ vanishes for $p\in\{2,3,5,7,13\}$ if $n \geq 3$, as well as for $p \leq 6n-14$. Additionally, we prove a non-vanishing result, showing that this cohomology group is nonzero for $n = 2$ for every prime $p$, and for $n=3$ for all primes $p \notin \{2,3,5,7,13\}$.
