We do this as well. We have a separate SSID for "devices" that uses a PSK. We have a web form that students can use to submit their MAC address, which I then register and send them the key. 

I've been doing this for a few years now, and has worked pretty well.

We provide a non-broadcast "legacy" ssid that utilizes WPA2-PSK for
devices that do not support 802.1x.  Each device has to be manually
added to the network, so customers have to contact our support desk if
they want to connect their device.  I believe the network team changes
the key on an annual basis which forces students to get reconfigured
each year.  AFAIK this hasn't been a huge problem for anyone so far...
