The California Preparatory School also appears in the 1927 and 1932 CDs, although neither gives the new address. The 1927 CD just says "¾ mile Southeast of Grand Avenue Station on Pacific Electric Railway".

Very interesting. I grew up a mile from the old Cal Prep campus, and was not aware until you posted this article from the
Argus that the school existed elsewhere under a different name before coming to Covina.
Here is the newly-built California Preparatory School for Boys campus in 1926,
which was located just south of the Pomona Road, today's Covina Hills Road. In 1932, US99 (later I-10) was routed through the San Jose Hills adjacent to the southern boundary of the campus.

In 1942, the property was sold to the
Theosophical Society Point Loma, then in 1951, it became the
California Baptist Theological Seminary.
