Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) relates to the shares ("Shares") of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office of the Issuer is located at 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a) This Statement is being filed by Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board, an Ontario, Canada corporation (“Teachers’”). Teachers’ is a pension plan that invests and manages the pension funds of active and retired teachers in Ontario, Canada. In connection therewith, Teachers’ enters into investment management arrangements with certain investment management firms from time to time. Teachers’ has entered into such an arrangement with JANA Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“JANA”), pursuant to which JANA holds certain Shares in a managed account on behalf of Teachers’. Under the terms of such arrangement, JANA has sole discretion to vote and dispose of all securities managed by JANA on behalf of Teachers’, including the Shares. Separately, Teachers’ owns Shares in its own account which it manages in its sole discretion.

Teachers’ expects to consult with JANA with respect to its investment in the Issuer, and Teachers’ and JANA may be deemed to be a “group” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). Although Teachers’ does not affirm that such a group has been formed, this disclosure is being made to ensure compliance with the Act. Teachers’ expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held by JANA, whether or not in connection with Teachers’ and JANA’s investment management arrangement, or any other person or entity other than, to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein. The securities reported herein as being beneficially owned by Teachers’ do not include any securities held by JANA or any other person or entity and reflect only the accounts under Teachers’ sole management and control. Any disclosures made herein with respect to persons or entities other than Teachers’ are made on information and belief after making inquiry to the appropriate party.

(b)–(c) The principal business address of Teachers’ is 5650 Yonge Street, 3rd Floor, Toronto, Ontario M2M 4H5.

The name, residence or business address, and present principal occupation or employment of each director, executive officer and controlling person of Teachers’ is set forth in Schedule A hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Neither Teachers’, nor to the best of Teachers' knowledge, any of the persons identified in Schedule A hereto has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) Neither Teachers’, nor to the best of Teachers’ knowledge, any of the persons identified in this Schedule A hereto has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) Teachers’ is a corporation incorporated in Ontario, Canada. Each of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto is a citizen of Canada.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The 6,839,429 Shares reported herein by Teachers’ were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $172 million. The source of the funds used to purchase such Shares was the pension fund managed by Teachers’, which includes income from the fund’s investment portfolio and contributions from members of the pension plan administered by Teachers’.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Teachers’ acquired the Shares reported herein because it believes the Shares are undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity.

Teachers’ may take steps seeking to bring about changes to increase shareholder value which may include discussions with the Issuer’s board of directors, management, shareholders and other parties relating to the Issuer’s business, operations, management, board composition and representation, corporate structure, strategy and future plans, as well as the pursuit of other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Except as set forth herein or as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein, Teachers’ has no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, Teachers' may change its plans at any time, as it deems appropriate, in light of its ongoing evaluation of (a) its business and liquidity objectives, (b) the Issuer's financial condition, business, operations, competitive position, prospects and/or share price, (c) industry, economic and/or securities markets conditions, (d) alternative investment opportunities and (e) other relevant factors. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Teachers' reserves the right to at any time or from time to time (i) purchase or otherwise acquire additional Shares, or other securities of the Issuers, or instruments convertible into or exercisable for any such securities (collectively, "Issuer Securities"), in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (ii) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Issuer Securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (iii) cause Issuer Securities to be distributed in kind to its investors, (iv) acquire or write options contracts, or enter into derivatives or hedging transactions, relating to Issuer Securities or (v) encourage (including, without limitation, communications with the Issuer's directors and management, existing or potential security holders, investors, lenders or strategic partners, and investment and financing professionals) the Issuer to consider or explore (A) sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses, or extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a merger or other reorganization, (B) changes to the Issuer's capitalization or dividend policy or (C) other changes to the Issuer's business or structure.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported to be beneficially owned by Teachers’ is based upon 301,300,000 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of July 15, 2011 as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on July 28, 2011 for the period ended June 30, 2011.

As of the close of business on July 29, 2011, Teachers’ beneficially owns 6,839,429 Shares constituting approximately 2.3% of the Shares outstanding. Upon information and belief, JANA, as of the close of business on July 29, 2011, may be deemed to beneficially own an additional 8,885,364 Shares, constituting approximately 2.9% of the Shares outstanding. Accordingly, as of the close of business on July 29, 2011, Teachers’ and JANA, in aggregate, may be deemed to beneficially own 15,724,793 Shares, constituting approximately 5.2% of the Shares outstanding.

(b) Teachers’ has sole voting and dispositive power over 6,839,429 Shares, which power is exercised by Teachers’.

(c) Information concerning transaction in the Shares effected by Teachers’ during the past sixty days is set forth in Schedule B hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. All of the transactions in Shares listed hereto were effected in open market purchases on the New York Stock Exchange through various brokerage entities.

(d) No person (other than Teachers’) is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

None.

Item 7. Material to be filed as Exhibits.
